Before & After the Concert
Your Colorado Symphony offers pre and post-concert events to enhance your performance experience, including Preludes, Talkbacks, and HalfNotes activities.
HalfNotes
Held in the Bach Room of Boettcher Concert Hall, these activities take place prior to specific family-friendly concerts throughout the season. Activities are individually curated for each concert and will feature rotating activities like concert-related crafts!
Preludes
Preludes take place at 6:30 p.m. (FRI & SAT) and 12 p.m. (SUN) in Boettcher Concert Hall, before every Classics performance, and are included with your concert ticket. Dive deeper into the music, learn about planning a concert, take a peak behind the curtain, and more! For details on a specific event date, please visit the individual performance web page or contact us at tickets@coloradosymphony.org.

Following select Classics performances, enjoy a special 15-minute, post-concert discussion with the guest artist or conductor. Talkbacks take place in Boettcher Concert Hall and are included with your concert ticket.
